Back in June, we took a look at One Southern Indiana's policy positions, courtesy of its exclusive "star chamber" of a public policy committee.
1SI's legislative agenda: "Make the hard choices," so help us ROCK.
I just returned from Madison, Wisconsin, where the policy positions differ from 1SI's, so much so that I didn't make it past the first entry, Intercity Passenger Rail.
Greater Madison Chamber of Commerce Policy Positions
Them damned primitive folks up north can't even include a union busting plank in the master platform.
As ROCK might say: "Atheistic heathens."

Funny thing, agronomy. When you plant turnip seeds, you get turnips.
Roger, you may be on to something comparing the mission statements of various Chambers of Commerce. Metro Louisville often benchmarks itself against Nashville, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis. Not bad cities, but not leaders in job growth or income growth. Why not emulate the best of the best?
Last year, the US city with the highest job growth rate was Madison, Wisc.
Last year, US city with the highest income growth of all cities with population over one million was Portland, OR.
If better examples exists, it's a fair question to ask why we're not trying to learn from them.
I cannot take full credit, having inadvertently omitted this: "Thanks to SS for the tip."
What do you think about the fourth entry Roger?
I think that given decades of sprawl engancement, even in a place like Madison, autos will not disappear any time soon. The idea to me is to reduce reliance on them, and to make the cost of operating them correspond with reality.
I agree. I like Madison's holistic approach.
